They'll be a signing, it just won't happen until the Hardaker issue is resolved first.'"
What's to lose by saying Leeds are looking to strengthen the squad? Really, after that abomination of a season when you are looking to sell season tickets that effort is the best GH can come up with. If it's not true and we are looking to buy players then it's a PR disaster. Even if it is true, then it's still a PR disaster.

Last time I went on a freebie it was sticky toffee pudding, very nice it was too. The rugby was crap but I suppose you can't have everything.

Meh,hes palmed off more season tickets than normal this year due to panicking people into buying their season tickets to secure their place in the ground next year.

Loads of time before next season starts (15 weeks), rushing out a "we're going to sign X, Y and Z" but without actually naming names isn't really going to get people rushing for Season Tickets when the memory of this season gone is still fresh.

| Hetherington talks absolute rubbish.
bringing segeyaro in for hardaker is nonsense.
who came in for fallon then? The last few years recruitment have on the whole been cheap with the hope of a few of the leaders to pull us through. We never replaced the 3 legends so if we get no.one to replace zak it wouldnt be a suprise

| GH has served up several turd sandwich announcements in recent years but they've usually been accompanied by a sprinkling of sugar at the very least.
Must have run out of sugar.
Still, it must still be a good squad because only one Cas player would get into the Leeds side.

| Could it be, with the ground redevelopment work and the consequential reduction in capacity for next season, that keeping the wage bill down looks attractive to GH? Maybe a decision has been taken to ride our luck again next season and build for 2018 and beyond. Keep the cash as a contingency fund for the ground redevelopment / war chest to pick up playing staff for 2018. Or is that just a touch too cynical?

| If you were cynical you could add that he can hide the drop in crowds due to ground re-development and not the fact people are displeased with the product.
If you were cynical....

It's too cynical and also not how Hetherington works - he is as well aware as anyone else that the key to being profitable is for the team to be competitive and the playing budget is not even close to being on the list of things they'd cut if they needed to save money (which they don't really).
A better question is whether the way Hetherington manages the cap is still the best way.

| Quote: Emagdnim13 "As I said elsewhere, the loss of Zak and Achurch this year should leave us well under the cap. Not spending that and hoping we get lucky and the other top teams get unlucky is bonkers.
With McGuire becoming injury prone, Lilley being young and Sutty at FB we could be in for another year of directionless rugby.'"
While you would think we should have some brass left Segyaro and ferres will be eating into some of the salary left by these players.
I imagine when we shift hardaker a signing will be brought in. Hopefully not some project or squad player but who knows, there has been a fair bit of activity in the transfer market with the top teams strengthening while we appear to be doing very little at this time.
